The Nakashima Coffee Table from Knoll presents a smooth synthesis of traditional design and straightforward modern presentation. The underside of the table is stamped with the signature of designer George Nakashima and is framed in solid walnut with subtle brass accents. Its slender, splayed legs elevate the flat tabletop, with a low-sheen finish that allows the smooth veneers and wood grain to showcase the warm beauty of the wood. Meanwhile, subtle yet strong joinery demonstrates the legendary craftsmanship of the designer, evident in the piece's essential structure.
